Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a collector or enthusiast due to its exceptionally low mileage. Proceed with caution regarding the high potential maintenance costs associated with a 5.9L V12 engine.
Given the low mileage of 38,619, your primary focus should be on whether the vehicle has had regular oil changes and fluid refreshes despite the low usage. For a high-performance 5935cc engine, service intervals are critical. Ask for evidence of any major service milestones, such as cambelt changes or cooling system flushes, which are often due based on age rather than mileage.
During a physical inspection, look closely at the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage cars often sit for long periods. Negotiate based on the potential cost of upcoming major maintenance items that may be due simply because the car is nearly 20 years old.
Running this DB9 will be substantial. The 5.9L petrol engine falls into a high tax band and will require significant fuel expenditure, especially if driven spiritedly. Insurance groups for this model are typically very high, reflecting both the vehicle's value and its performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs are expected to be high. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, the aggregate data for this model suggests common issues can include headlamps, brake pads, and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues. Expect annual running costs to be significantly higher than a standard passenger vehicle.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, you should be aware of common failure points for the DB9 model, such as headlamp functionality and brake pad wear. Check the electrical systems thoroughly, as 'engine MIL inoperative' is a noted failure reason in the wider model data.
Specifically for this car, inspect the condition of all seals and hoses. Because the mileage is so low (averaging roughly 2,000 miles per year), components that usually wear out through use may instead fail due to age-related degradation or lack of movement.
This 2007 Aston Martin DB9 in Grey presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage, having covered just 38,619 miles in approximately 19 years. The MOT history shows a consistent record of passes since 2021, with no recorded defects in the most recent four tests. While the mileage is low, the age of the vehicle means certain rubber and seal components may require attention regardless of the clean MOT history.
The DB9 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.2% across 5,027 analysed vehicles, though common failures include headlamps and engine warning lights.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN DB9
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- V12 Timing Cover Oil Leaks(Moderate)
Like the V8, the V12 is prone to weeping oil from the front cover. On the V12, this often requires the entire front end of the car to be dismantled.
- V12 Coil Pack & Spark Plug Failure(Moderate)
Heat soak in the V12 "valley" kills coil packs. Replacement requires removing both intake manifolds, making it a very expensive labor-heavy job.
